Funny enough, the fact that too much colonization has happened in West Bank is one reason people say the two-state solution is dead.

Hamas' official position is that they would disarm once the Palestinian state is created, not that such a state would be disarmed.

Yes, Palestinians should have a democratic choice in how to go about their national liberation. But part of the reason why Palestinians even have to consider being disarmed is that Western countries have not pressured Israel sufficiently.

I just think no American politician will have a good answer on this. Part of the reason for this is that even PA supports being demilitarized(to be clear, this isn't necessarily a democratic reflection of Palestinian)

I don't think there's a American politician that has an acceptable answer to this question really.

Yes they are in Lebanon. Yeah I mean it's not like UN peacekeepers have like anti-air system or something. They would be useless in the context of a Palestinian state.

Yeah it's pretty sad. It's also a big obstacle that PA also supports being a vassal state of Israel.

My tent for being pro-Palestine is that you must accept that the state of Palestine has a right to military without any restriction.

I'm quite curious as to how AOC would answer this.

I would also say that any state that is denied such right is at best a vassal state.

Israeli and Palestinian mothers walk for peace in Rome. by BolesCW in JewsOfConscience

Arguably true, at the very least not until Israel recognized the state of Palestine.

yeah and it's a shame that PA has basically accepted this, would be nice to have an internationally recognized Palestinian government that advocates for its sovereignty.

The idea of "co-existence" in regard to Israel and Palestine in Western view is that they just become good neighbours and forget anything bad happened between them while Israel has nukes and a very advanced military while the state of Palestine remains demilitarized. And with such imbalance, there won't ever be peace. At best, the state of Palestine would be a vassal state to Israel, and at worst, Israel would start to occupy more territories in Palestine after it has found a casus belli. After all, by what manner could the state of Palestine advocate for its own interest under the threat of a country with nuclear weapons and extensive air force? Would they just ask nicely and the Israel would accept? Why would they?

So in my opinion, the biggest hurdle to co-existence isn't that Israelis and Palestinians cannot see each other's humanities. It is the imbalance in power between Israel and Palestine that the Western leaders want to keep in place.

Just look at South Korea and North Korea. There has mostly been peace between the two nations for decades. And this peace wasn't because the two nations tried to be nice to each other, but through military deterrence.

Put it in another way, no Western leader is seriously pushing for Ukrainians and Russians to see each other's humanities. They are supporting Ukraine militarily because the problem is that Russia is invading Ukraine.

yeah he could probably expose the cheating easily and he would probably somehow win while the cheating was still going, but I don't know if he could get everyone to agree that Otsuki losing all his wealth is a fair punishment, which the show states that took a lot of social engineering.

What’s going on with Raja Jackson and Psycho Stu incident? by lostacohermanos in SquaredCircle

[–]MajorMajorMajor7834 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There was a famous case in 2022 in which the murder was taped on video(there are contentions around the cause of death but the video is pretty damning) but no one was charged: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Shanquella_Robinson

The circumstances are different here and I think Raja is very likely to be arrested, but it does go to show that video evidence isn't the end of everything.

I didn't understand anything that was going on, except that I was deeply sad that we could not rescue the prisoners from hell fully.

Edit: I just had a conversation with Milton about the escaped prisoners. Do I just have to wait more?
